Yes. Not to follow their recommendations, but to get a detailed and methodical evaluation of a car. Enthusiasts hate anything that doesn’t have 400hp and normal people are scared of anything less than 100% reliability. All car magazines want to talk about is how sick the burnouts are or that 0-60 in anything over 3

You are accurately describing Pennsyltucky, the areas of Pennsylvania that are not Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. But please don’t group us normal city-dwellers in with them.

Get past PA as fast as possible, aren’t you in NC? Are there even cities there?

Kind of agree.  If you are still looking at used cars, spend $2-$3k and get that sweet 540 fixed right.  that is a great year for BMW (I have a 2003 530).  Its worth keeping.  Otherwise, get something new.

$20k used? Are you nuts? You could walk off a lot with a brand new Fiesta ST for $17-18K as late as last year. If you pay $20k for a new ST, you’re overpaying. 

I love Miata, but there’s no comparison. Two wheels cross country is my preference til I can’t anymore, then its convertible time.

I don’t think loudly banging a drum inches from somebody’s face is meant to defuse a situation. Has that ever worked anywhere?

There were no winners in that video, but the conscious attempts by people on the left to crucify these kids without making proper reference to everything that led up to it, show their biases, not the kids.

Without questioning whether the kid acted as awfully as portrayed, I must say that the lead speaker in the “Black Israelite cult,” without a doubt a fully grown man, comes off as the most vile, inflammatory person in the video.

Heroic? The little out-of-touch pocket reality that produces writers for GMG, Vice and The Cut must be some special place. A room full of people enjoy a hilarious comedian, but you focus on the unhappy one “forced” to watch.

Actually, that was pretty sad. It’s not very nice to bully a person who’s in a bad place and isn’t allowed to work even though he didn’t commit a crime or anything. His apology was the sincere one. Obviously, it wasn’t written by some PR team and he admitted that his behavior wasn’t ok. It wasn’t criminally wrong or

Nathan For You connection aside, this truly is some horrifying capitalist bullshit.

Now playing

Does anyone else hear a slight similarity to the speeder bikes in Star Wars? I’m okay with this.

completely uneducated hot take:

-This Corvette will be six figures+

no?... the hybrid part is solely to smooth out the edges of the gas engine, and quicken linear acceleration. The gas engine itself is what produces diesel-like fuel economy.

My reason; women have become pretty gross.

They said “at least 150", its lighter with less power but the drag coefficient is probably closer to a prius then a chiron. I bet it tops out at 270, any takers?

As someone who regularly wears fucking EARPLUGS to keep out the 90dB wind noise in a motorcycle helmet. If you need audio ques, you are already not paying enough attention to driving. sooooo.... ACTUALLY PAY FUCKING ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING

The first thing that every jalopnik writer thinks about when watching a car show : Is there enough diversity among the hosts?
